Cold Blue Steel And Sweet Fire

Cold blue steel out of money

One eye for the beat police

Sweet fire calling

"you can't deny me

Now you know what you need"

Underneath the jungle gym

Hollow-grey-fire-escape-thief

Looking for sweet fire

Shadow of lady release

"come with me

I know the way" she says

"it's down, down, down the dark ladder

Do you want to contact somebody first

Leave someone a letter

You can come now

Or you can come later"



A wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamer

Edgy-black cracks of the sky

"pin-cushion-prick-

Fix this poor bad dreamer!"

"money" cold shadows reply

Pawnshops crisscrossed and padlocked

Corridors spit on prayers and pleas

Sparks fly up from sweet fire

Black soot of lady release

"come with me

I know the way" she says

"it's down, down, down the dark ladder

Do you want to contact somebody first

Does it really matter

If you come now

Or if you come on later?"



Red water in the bathroom sink

Fever and the scum brown bowl

Blue steel still begging

But it's indistinct

Someone's hi-fi drumming jelly roll

Concrete concentration camp

Bashing in veins for peace

Cold blue steel and sweet fire

Fall into lady release

"come with me i know the way" she says

"it's down, down, down the dark ladder

Do you want to contact somebody first

I mean what does it really matter

You're going to come now

Or you're going to come later"
